How does your garden grow?
We all dream of beautiful, weed-free gardens - right?! Striving for a weed-free garden requires diligence throughout the growing season.

One of the first lines of defense is an application in March of a pre-emergent herbicide. When activated by water, Preen® creates an invisible barrier that prevents many weed seeds from germinating. If you start your plants from seed, wait until they are two to three inches tall before applying Preen®. Remember to re-apply every three months during the growing season or when soil is disturbed, such as when you plant annuals in May. As always, we recommend you read the entire label before application.

For those who want to go organic, we carry Preen Vegetable Garden Organic Weed Preventer made with 100% corn gluten meal.

Unfortunately, Preen® will not control existing weeds. These must be pulled, or treated with a post emergent herbicide containing an active ingredient such as glyphosate (Roundup®). Be careful not to allow drift from Roundup® to contact plants you want to keep and try not to spray it when pollinators are active.

May all your weeds be wildflowers!
